Every Ramadan, Khadijah Muda’s home in Section 3, Petaling Jaya, Selangor is a hive of activity. From slicing the onions and carrots to cooking her special, signature dish in gigantic pots, every afternoon is like a scene from a Malay kenduri, with lots of people completing their specified tasks.

For the past 35 years, Khadijah has cooked bubur lambuk – a savoury rice porridge commonly eaten by Muslims during breaking of fast – daily during the month of Ramadan, which she then distributes to Muslims in her community.
